A Florida judge has ruled that the state’s ban on school mask mandates is unlawful.
Leon County Circuit Judge John C. Cooper said the governor’s order doesn’t “pass constitutional muster” and that local school boards have the right to create their own policies as long as they’re “narrowly tailored.”
“The evidence demonstrates that face mask policies that follow CDC guidance are at this point in time reasonable and consistent with the best scientific and medical opinion and guidance in the country,” he said.. The ruling will take effect once the written order is signed. “It’s not surprising that Judge Cooper would rule against parents’ rights and their ability to make the best educational and medical decisions for their family, but instead rule in favor of elected politicians,” Taryn Fenske, communications director for the governor’s office, said in a statement.
The Parents Bill of Rights, which took effect on July 1, says that the government can’t infringe on the “fundamental rights of a parent to direct the upbringing, education, health care and mental health of a minor child.”
